Virtual Walk for Autism

The Bearville Insider Virtual Walk for Autism on Saturday, April 25 was at 4:00 pm est. What a blast!

Our April Virtual Walk for Autism will be hosted by Loveablegirl(BABV name Angelaloveable7). The members of Bearville Insider have been organizing and participating in Virtual Care Walks throughout Buildabearville.com for some time. Powered by Bearville Insider volunteer staff and members, the goal of these walks is to come together and participate in a virtual care event for an express purpose. I hope you join us and continue to volunteer as organizers or participants in these special events.

The objectives for our Virtual Walk for Autism is threefold, as follows:

Raise awareness about autism and its challenges.

Show support for individuals diagnosed with a form of autismand families with loved ones on the autism spectrum.

Allow BearvilleInsider.com community members the experience of organizing a Virtual Care event and inspire them to see how they can get involved and make a difference.

BearvilleInsider.com Virtual Walks started with a walk for cancer in June when our YellowRoseofTexas (BABV: MiriamStar) asked, Why can’t we have a cancer walk? It would be wonderful to show our support for all cancers. We could wear different color t-shirts, like purple for ovarian cancer, blue for prostrate cancer, pink and gold and so forth. Since then, our walks for cancer, kennel pals and now autism have been organized by members of Bearville Insider, with staff assistance, to offer our members the experience of organizing such events.

To be a virtual walker you’ll need to sign up for an account at www.buildabearville.com. Membership is free. Citizens create their own characters – called avatars – by choosing skin color, hair style and fashion style as well as bring your furry friend to life online. Build-A-Bearville was created by Build-A-Bear Workshop, which sells customizable bears and other stuffed animals online and in stores.

"Birds fly, fish swim, man thinks and learns. Therefore, we do not need to motivate children into learning by wheedling, bribing or bullying. We do not need to keep picking away at their minds to make sure they are learning. What we need to do, and all we need to do, is bring as much of the world as we can into the school and classroom (in our case, into their lives); give children as much help and guidance as they ask for; listen respectfully when they feel like talking; and then get out of the way. We can trust them to do the rest."
